Starting on small tasks as a junior lawyer can help to build up your commercial knowledge and confidence in your area of expertise, getting you prepared to take on more responsibility within the team.
If you have the opportunity to do a graduate program, take it and try as many different areas as you can! You may think you know what type of law you want to specialise in, but you never know what is out there unless you give it a shot.
There are always events being held to facilitate mingling with co-workers and celebrating milestones and there are flexible work arrangements to suit your lifestyle supporting a healthy work-life balance.
As a graduate I have received a wonderful opportunity to work from the day I started. The program is flexible, and a range of training has been provided for graduates to support their professional and personal development.
